Chapter One: New Girl, New Friend…
Ren's POV***
My name is Airen Kazuki and I'm a freshman at Kairan Arts Academy, a co-ed high school for students with exceptional abilities.
I was just walking down the hallway to get to my first class, when I turned the corner and bumped into someone. Papers and books went flying in every direction, kinda like an explosion. "Sorry, my bad." I said as I bent down to pick up the books she had dropped, and I immediately noticed the manga books that were lying there. "Like manga, huh?" I said. She nodded in response. "Airen Kazuki." I stated. "R-Rubecca Valintine." She stuttered. "You new here? The office is that way." I said casually, pointing down the hall. She smiled and waved bye as she walked away. I smiled back. She seems ok, for a new girl. I made my way into homeroom and was suddenly surrounded by "The Pricks", the most popular trio in the entire academy. "What do you want now?" I sighed. "Why would we want anything from you?" Ari, the leader of the group, said with a smug expression. "Okay. Then move." I replied. Ugh. You're so irking! I thought to myself. "Make us." Said Kana, crossing her arms over her chest.
I simply rolled my eyes. "Oh goody! Looks like your legs aren't working… again." I said with a bored expression. I looked over their shoulders only to see my best friend Ichigo Takuma, a girl with dark brown hair that was layered to the middle of her back and deep purple eyes, reading a Bleach comic book at her desk. I then redirected my eyes toward the three stooges in front of me. I knew exactly what to do. I pushed past them forcefully and sat next to her.
She looked at me as I settled into my seat. I rolled my eyes and turned my head to look at the girls glaring at me. All of a sudden, their eyes widened in fear and they either looked down or in another direction. At that moment, I could already tell that Ichigo had given them her ice-cold death glare. Only she could scare the hell out of anyone with a single glance. That's why I loved her. I turned back to her. "So, how's it goin', Taku?" I asked casually. "Nothing much," She replied, "So, Kazi, what was up with 'The Pricks'?" she inquired. I simply shrugged.
Just then, Mr. Maruho walked in and stood before us. "Good morning, class. I have an announcement. Today, we have a new student joining us." He said, beckoning someone from the door. It was a girl, a pretty one at that. Hey… she looks familiar. What was here name again? "Please introduce yourself to the class." He said to the new girl. She stepped forward and spoke. Rubbecca! That's it! "H-hi. M-m-my name is Ru-rubecca Nadara Valint-tine." She stuttered as she looked at the ground, eyes hidden by her bangs. I'm a beast. I turned my head and stared out the window, completely in a daze. Mr. Maruho cleared his throat, but I didn't flinch. "Airen?" He said in a casual voice, "Airen," He said a little louder, "Airen!" He called, still louder, but I didn't move a muscle. "Kazuki!" He shouted. That did it. I whipped my head around to face him and I glared about a million daggers at him, hoping he would die from them. "Don't EVER call me that." I growled. "You and Ichigo will escort Ms. Valintine to her classes." He stated. "Sure." I replied, leaning against the back of my chair. She took a seat right next to me. She looked so shy and innocent. She looked like she would break if I even gave her the slightest tap on the shoulder. She sat there playing with her thumbs, then looked up at me and smiled.
Rubecca POV***
After checking in at the office I walked into my new homeroom and immediately looked at the girls sitting towards the back of the room. Hey! I know her. At least I would know someone here.
"Please introduce yourself to the class." He said to me. I took a step forward and spoke. "H-hi. M-m-my name is Ru-rubecca Nadara Valint-tine." I stuttered as I tried to keep my gaze directed to the ground, eyes hidden by my bangs. I don't know why, but it was hard for me to speak in front of the class. New school jitters, I guess. I looked up a little and I saw her turned her head and stare out the window. Mr. Maruho cleared his throat, but she didn't even flinch! "Airen?" He said. "Airen," He said a little louder, "Airen!" He shouted. She still didn't move. I saw the girl next to her smirk, and I tried my best to hold down the impending laughter inching its way up my throat. "Kazuki!" He screamed at the top of his lungs. She whipped her head around and glared at him. "Don't EVER call me that." I growled. "You and Ichigo will escort Ms. Valintine to her classes." He stated. "Sure." She replied. I don't know what it is, but I like her. I took a seat next to her and caught her stare. I smiled at her.
Airen POV***
After homeroom, we had a fifteen-minute break, so I decided to show Rubecca around a little. Ichigo and I lead her to the courtyard and sat with her on of the table benches. "I don't think you've really met my friend here. This is Ichigo Takuma." I told Rubecca. "Hey. You can call me Taku." Ichigo smiled. "Ok." She replied. "Now that we're acquainted and stuff let's get down to business. Just so things are clear, the girls over there. See 'em?" I said pointing to "the Pricks". She nodded. "They're the most popular click in the entire academy." I stated briefly. "Don't be scared though. They seem tough, but really they're a bunch of wusses. They're all bark and no bite. If they bother you just let Kazi or me know." Says Ichigo. "Kazi?" she said with a puzzled look on her face. Ichigo pointed at me and she nodded. "Just call me Ren. Now that you know the basics, tell us about you. You like manga too, right?" I asked. "Yeah. I love Inuyasha, Soul Eater, Black Butler, Kingdom Hearts, and others too." She smiled, "You can call me Ruby, by the way. Ok Ren? 'Taku'?" We nodded in unison.
The rest of the day, they talked about likes and dislikes. They became close friends almost instantly and had a great time together. Little did they know what was about to happen that would change their lives forever…
The End!
